Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 잔 속에 맑게 담겨 있다. 아란이 1996년 증류해 셰리 캐스크에 담아 열다섯 해 재운 이 위스키는 왁스와 아마인유, 호두 껍질의 독특한 향을 곧게 피운다. 물을 더하면 장미와 젖은 숲, 버섯 같은 야생의 결이 열린다. 56.4도의 도수 위로 입안에는 사과즙과 배, 오렌지의 단맛에 육두구와 하얀 후추가 더해진다. 여운은 길고 잼처럼 달콤하되 무겁지 않게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
rather powerful, mostly waxy and vegetal/grassy at first nosing. Nice development on linseed oil and candle wax, rather big notes of shoe polish, walnut skin, paraffin and fresh almonds. Very nice profile, very straight. Very little fruitiness, that is. Gets more floral (roses). With a little water: it became more complex, very nicely ‘wild’, with whiffs of ‘forest after the rain’, mushrooms... Then something maritime (clams?), kelp... Maybe not exactly impressive but rather complex and perfectly balanced. I like this nose
restaurant Palate
sweet and ‘direct’, maybe a little simple now. Apple juice, pear juice and orange squash plus vanilla fudge and a little nutmeg and white pepper. With water: it got more complex, spicier, wider, more assertive... Very nice spices, cinnamon, paprika, soft curry... All that on top of orange marmalade and quince jelly. Excellent
timer Finish
long, balanced, candied, jammy but never ‘thick’
